It all happened when Bell visited DeGeneres and admitted that her partner Dax Shepard is excited for the newborn in a different way than she is. “He is just thinking about all the off-roading he’ll have in this tiny partner,” she says. DeGeneres catches Bell on her potential slip-up, asking her if that means the baby’s a boy. Fortunately — or, rather, unfortunately — Bell recovers quickly.

“Maybe? Do you have to be a boy to off-road? Absolutely not,” she quips. When DeGeneres pushes that it’s easy to jump to the “boy” conclusion, Bell adds, “I think [Shepard’s] going to force even if it’s a sloth to off-road.”

Since Bell gives birth in the spring, so we don’t have to wait much longer to find out if DeGeneres is right. Do you think Bell revealed her baby’s gender here?
